[QUOTE="jsansom, post: 743355, member: 369326"] I have reset the motor to 52 degress on the side latitude and tightened it and set dish elevation to 29.5 ish but I just cant seem to get it to work across the arc ie i find thor 1 with £15 cheap signal tester but cant get that to give a great signal it finds the satellite but i can not go below the 2db on the tester (it goes upto 8) smallest movents in all directions just get 2 max, my receiver shows 20-25% signal however when i do a channel scan after about 72% into the scan it finds the thor channels goes to 77% signal then back to 23% and completes scan cahnnels work .Then if i move the satellite via the receiver to a different one like 28.2e its out no channels no signal, i got back on the roof and have to adjust the dish elevation to 32 degrees to find 28.2e and that now works but the rest will not work im lost ! It seems i just need to get a strong signal from thor 1 but there is no way unless the dish needs to go higher? but that seems ok from my photo's? [/QUOTE]
